hi Mike. i guess you can close this thread.

i thank you SO much for your time & effort. it is greatly appreciated!

one thing, for reference, it wasn’t working for me right-away. after digging in & comparing to your live example, i discovered your example has back-ticks around translateX(-${shift}px) (which seem to be striped away from this post) which the above code didn’t. after adding that, it worked as expected.
